Everybody knows the dice are loaded. Everybody rolls with their fingers crossed.    Everybody knows the war is over. Everybody knows the good guys lost.    Everybody knows the fight was fixed. The poor stay poor, the rich get rich.    That's how it goes. Everybody knows... Everybody knows the scene is dead    But there's gonna be a meter on your bed That will disclose    What everybody knows...    Everybody talking to their pockets. Everybody wants a box of chocolates    and a long red rose.    Everybody knows. Everybody knows. That's how it goes. Everybody knows. — Leonard Cohen, 1934-2016 By Leonard Cohen (1934-2016) & Sharon Robinson © 1988 CBS Records, Inc.

I hope you understand I just had to go back to the island. — Leon Russell, 1942-2016

You can no more win a war than you can win an earthquake — Jeannette Rankin (1880-1973)

If the soul is darkened
By a fear
it cannot name
If the mind is baffled
When the rules
don't fit the game
Who will answer?

Never, EVER, play the other guy's game. That sensible lesson resonates thru millennia from Sun Tzu's "Art of War" down to Damon Runyon's streets of New York.

Alas and alack, that's exactly what has led to World War Three — which started when Czar Putin's Russia invaded Ukraine last year and has metastasized since.

Right now, more than half of the globe's nations are at war or supporting wars. The U.S. has been on a combat footing since 1942. Former General Dwight Eisenhower, in his presidential farewell address, warned against the inertia of what he called the "military industrial complex."

As war historian Gwynne Dyer noted decades ago, every military is impelled toward battle because that's the main measure of success and promotion.

Israel got caught with its collective pants down on Oct. 6, 1973. It was no coincidence that Iran/Russia surrogate Hamas launched missiles into the formerly holy land last Oct. 7.

NO, I'M NOT DEPT. This is the point in any column or broadcast when I have to inoculate myself against kneejerk accusations.

I always answer thusly: My only wife was of Jewish descent and in 1973, how much money did you raise for Israeli relief like I did?

BACK TO THE FUTURE. Benjamin Netanyahu has enjoyed a fat political career built on the shoulders of his heroic brother, Yonatan, the commander killed rescuing Ugandan dictator Idi Amin's hostages in the fabled 1976 raid on Entebbe airport.

Bro Bibi just got punked by the ayatollahs. He's obviously not a Trekkie.

The 1982 film "Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan" opened with a no-win situation: A commander trying to rescue a defenseless craft named Kobayashi Maru in the face of overwhelming hostile warships.

It turned out to be a war game simulation to see how trainees would react in stressful situations. The result was always disaster save in one case, that of intrepid Capt. James T. Kirk, who cheated. He reprogrammed the test before he took it and received a commendation for original thinking.

"I hate to lose," Kirk often said. (Donald Trump effectively mimicked that attitude by hiring a good student to take his college entrance exam.)

The attack on Israel by the Gaza dictatorship was Bibi Netanyahu's Kobayashi Maru moment and he flunked.

Yeah, yeah, I know. What would you do if missiles were raining down on your town?

First, remember the probably apocryphal words of Japanese Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto in the 1970 film "Tora Tora Tora!": "There is no last word in diplomacy."

I have preached for decades that any war can be avoided if its seeds are smothered early. In 1986, the U.S. armed Afghani Mujahideen guerrillas with Stinger Missiles to down Russian Army helicopter gunships. Without air superiority, the Soviets walked. (Somebody hurry up and get those F-16s to Zelenskyy, dammit!)

After we beat them dirty Russkies, we left Afghanistan at the mercy of the Taliban which soon welcomed Osama bin Laden with deadly open arms. (Rent the 2007 Tom Hanks/Julia Roberts film "Charlie Wilson's War" for embarrassing details.)

We blew a chance to install democracy but hey, our guys won. Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition!

As with Pearl Harbor in 1941, the Israelis were asleep at the switch in 1973. When I brought Israeli Consul General David Zohar to Reno to help with my Israel relief campaign, I asked why.

"It was the boy who cried wolf," he stated. "Too many false alarms."

America had ample warning about 9/11 but President Bush the Lesser and his minions were too busy cutting taxes for their wealthy friends. Shortly before the debacle, Attorney General John "Ashes to Ashes" Ashcroft told his staff "I don't want to hear any more about terrorism." When the first jetliner hit the World Trade Center, his order was probably rescinded.

GIVE PEACE A CHANCE. What if Mr. Netanyahu had offered a Christian solution: Turn the other cheek.

Instead, he boarded the Kobayashi Maru and played the other guy's game. Hamas rigged it to entice a doomsday response and thus set the world on fire. The lowlifes accomplished their goal, blazingly.

Cops look for motive and this war crime is no different. Who benefits? Iran has paid back its Russian benefactor with a complete diversion of the world's attention from Putin's "Special Military Operation" in Ukraine.

Now that Israel has responded with a scorched earth scenario, other Russian satellites like Syria and Lebanon have gotten into the act. Moslems and Jews worldwide are enraged.

Desperation and hatred dominate just in time for the high holy days.

Iran, Syria, Iraq and Russia would have been robbed of vainglory and suffered an empty, indeed pyrrhic, victory with a merciful and thoughtful response. The west would have looked moral and strong.

Instead, we just cranked up the war machine to a higher, more corporately profitable level.

And Donald Trump just can't wait to start building hotels and golf courses in Ukraine at the behest of his buddy whom last year he termed "a genius" for getting "all that land."

I repeat an old axiom from the 60s which remains just a dream: The only way to stop killing is to stop killing.

Peace thru weakness. Outrageous. Arrest that traitor!

But what you're doing ain't working, macho men.

And I repeat my long term solution to just about every problem: Put women in command. Male egos start wars.

Who will answer? All of us.

WAR ON OUR STREETS. Last Wednesday, Hans Schmidt, 26, was shot dead on the streets of Glendale, Ariz., a Phoenix suburb. His sin: Preaching near his Pentecostal church, inviting people to services.

Stay safe. Get vaxxed. Happy Thanksgibleting to you and yours. Remember JFK and pray for peace with your loved ones at your dinner table should you be fortunate enough to have one.

Just whose idea was it that all those apartments and high rises sprouting like weeds in this backwater boomtown should evoke the latest in minimum security prison chic?

Gloomy places beget gloomy people. The ambient architecture of today's mucky Truckee Meadows can best be described as Nouveau Communist East Berlin.

In 2015, the bi-partisan and bi-polar Sparks City Council watered down construction quality standards as part of destroying corporate welfare Victorian Square and handing it to some developer. (Barbwire Special Edition 12-14-2015)

The order of the day was "do something, even if it's wrong." Their wish was granted.

As with developments all over the region, Sparks design standards are basically Early American Cardboard Container. If exist any standards at all.

Victorian Square had been Sparks' contribution to the theme-casino madness spawned in Gomorrah South starting in the 1960s.

Apparently nobody recognized the grotesquerie in the concept of turning an old west railroad farm town into a bad copy of old London when Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson walked the earth.

I wonder what their chronicler, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, would have thought of goofy Last Chance Joe gracing Queen Victoria's capital.

The original idea included costuming Sparks police as British bobbies wearing Conehead hats walking around downtown Victorian Blvd. Fortunately, that never happened. The closest the renamed "B" Street ever got to looking like London was fancy streetlights. (And it hasn't even been a boulevard since the nice trees lining it were cut down many years ago.)

Reno quickly got into the act because the gambling industry immediately glommed onto this new way of generating redevelopment funds by skimming casino taxes and earmarking them for downtown districts.

Wouldn't it be wonderful if there was a government agency that would come over and give your place a new paint job or build an extra room for the kids all for free? Never in your wildest dreams, but the gambling-industrial complex makes its own avaricious fantasies come true.

Parks, roads, school, police and fire protection have always been underfunded in the High Desert Outback of the American Dream. Siphoning taxes away from the general public good led directly to the car-choked mayhem of today.

Charting the growth of Nevada corporate welfare tax giveaways over the past half-century would take more than this entire edition of the Tribune. (For depressing chapter and verse, access the Barbwire Corporate Welfare Archive at NevadaLabor.com)

One example will suffice. About 30 years ago, I asked the Nevada Dept. of Taxation for a list of all government tax breaks and freebies. I got about a dozen pages in the mail.

Today's jungle book requires an inch-thick bound volume studded with all-star names: Tesla, Panasonic, Cabela's, Apple, Switch, Scheels, Target, the Sparks Marina, the Reno Aces, the Oakland A's, the Las Vegas Raiders and major hotel-casinos from here to Gomorrah South. And don't forget the LV and Reno-Sparks Convention and Visitors authorities, the original freebie queens.

In short, billions that could have gone to communities simply did not, while governments acted as corporate welfare collection agencies.

Nevada voters apparently approve of all this tax ugliness because they keep electing politicians who allow vacuuming the public purse for the greater good of the wealthy few.

With all that government money subsidizing these bandidos, why must we also allow them to add insult to injury by constructing ugly buildings?

A short jaunt around town leaves observers besotted with unguents of ugliness. If we must be condemned to choking in traffic jams on pot-holed streets, shouldn't we at least occasionally get something nice to look at?

Alas and alack, many taxpayers are condemned to coming home to overpriced monochromatic rabbit warrens designed in Victorian Blah Modern.

I suppose such cookie-cutter crackerbox colorlessness reflects the claptrap imaginations controlling boomtowns which attract transitory populations.

Driving around these days is like living inside an old Humphrey Bogart movie.

Bogie told Ingrid Bergman that "we'll always have Paris," but even Paris looks boring in black-and-white.

Look at the bright side. If Hollywood ever needs to find a movie location that looks like Soviet-era Bucharest, maybe today's investment in boxiness will pay off.

Betwixt now and then, when traveling Truckee Meadows byways, I will continue to long for the occasional dark pleasure of beholding creative, colorful graffiti.

PARTING SHOT: Have you recently noticed how a newly bombed-out city looks black-and-white and bloodless?

Breaking News —> Masks work!

A Carson City judge just nuked the state teachers union's petition to place the Oakland A's Gomorrah South corporate welfare stadium to a vote of taxpayers who will get stuck with the tab.

Letting people vote? In Nevada? Outrageous.

At the same time, a new union of sorts for renters was announced.

One outta two ain't bad.

Said renters' rights outfit is about half a century too late. Back in northern Nevada's previous boomtown era c. 1978, even casino execs were living in tents by the river. (I've still got the film I shot.)

The coming of the MGM Grand (now the Grand Sierra) spurred a population boom as irritating as anything today.

BELIEVE IT OR ELSE Once upon a time Reno City Council passes rent control Barbwire 7-17-2019 MUCH MORE

More traffic than small town roads could handle and nowhere for people to live.

Rents skyrocketed resulting in skyrocketing fortunes for real estate speculators.

I am not exaggerating when I say California hustlers were driving around town with briefcases full of cash looking to pay whatever the market would bear for housing and "sewer fixture units."

One sewer fixture unit equals one faucet. NVEnergy nee Sierra Pacific Power was out of water. (This was before Warren Buffet's outfit dumped a junky, poorly maintained water system onto the public for a premium price, spawning the birth of the Truckee Meadows Water Authority.)

To build something, you have to bring water to get a building permit. I knew a guy named Blackie who ran a dry cleaner and laundromat — with lots of sewer fixtures.

A suit walked in one day and asked how much to buy his operation.

Blackie told me he thought about it for a minute, came up with his wildest-dream figure and doubled it.

The suit said "deal."

"When I got up off the floor after fainting, I thought I was dreaming, Blackie said."

Blackie soon retired. His former laundromat is now a bar near downtown with far fewer sewer fixture units.

Then as now, calls for rent control erupted. Reno City Hall actually held a hearing and gave mobile home renters rights leader Barbara Bennett a cold shower. (I was there.)

She asked for a "rent justification" ordinance, mandating that landlords justify rent increases with facts and figures until the crisis subsided. That model has been copied many times elsewhere.

A Democratic state senate candidate advocated for temporary rent control until vacancies exceeded five percent.

The power company and the Republican establishment, with a little help from city hall and the gambling-industrial complex, saw to it that he lost in an upset to a self-described Republican "slumlord."

In the aftermath, then as now, the little people were hopeless.

In 1979, Reno voters made Barbara Bennett the city's first woman mayor. She was up against a roiling Red Sea without Moses to help her part the waters.

She called city hall "infested with special interests." She told me of the curious case of a local construction company that always submitted the low bid on city contracts about five minutes before the deadline.

She suspected a city hall night janitor of opening the locked cabinet containing competitors' bids and giving them to the outfit in question.

There is justice in the world. The crooks went bankrupt and out of business a few years later.

A high city official, who retired rich, was also implicated.

Barbara Bennett was a senior citizen and the fight wore her down. When new Gov. Richard Bryan (D) offered her the position of director of state youth services in 1983, she took it.

She remains the only mayor to have a park named after her and the only mayor to make the Reno Gazette-Journal's 1999 "100 Who Made a Difference" in the 20th Century.

Bennett's resignation gave Vice-Mayor Pete Sferrazza the gavel but neither he nor a vocal minority on the council could affect the entrenched power.

Into the breach came a Democrat and a Republican, Marshall Schultz and Brent Tyler. Schultz was a renter and Tyler was a sales exec for Young Electric Sign, builders of the current Reno Arch.

Brent also had sideline: He was the best political pollster — and the best damned Republican -- I ever knew. (I said so when when I wrote his obituary.)

Brent and Marshall started a renters' rights advocacy organization. After a few years, it withered as construction caught up and then faded when Mr. Schultz died.

I got an e-mail from an Oregon reader this week with a link to a Nevada Independent story headlined "Group thought to be first tenants union in Nevada seeks to tackle high rents."

Well, they thought wrong. Also, it's not a union, which is a workers' rights organization, but I appreciate their co-opting the name and the spirit of organizing.

Solidarity forever! Rock on.

DEJA VU ALL OVER AGAIN. I tried to use the power of the Internet to start a renters' rights information exchange a little before the pandemic hit.

I launched Rentvolutionv.org and offered to post tenant compliments and complaints. KRNV TV-4 covered the story.

I got lots of interest but no one — not one renter — would participate.

One guy said it all: "If I make a complaint, my landlord will know who I am and evict me."

As in 1978, renters have no rights save the cosmetic in this no-cause eviction state.

It's the equivalent of fire-at-will for workers without a union. Alas, at least weak federal laws protect union employees, who are today only about 15 percent of Nevada's workforce.

Renters can only complain. So make rent control an election issue, dammit! Get some enlightened people elected for a change.

As Frederick Douglass advised: Agitate, agitate, agitate.

Organize. Organize. Organize!

DIVINE INSPIRATION DEPT. I was motivated to write the following heresy while watching an episode of "Law & Order Special Victims Unit."

Intrepid detectives were desperately searching for a woman based on a single clue: a closeup photo of her upper body cleavage wearing a pseudo-leopardskin halter.

Needless to say, the director of the show displayed the display frequently, the better to increasingly build, er...suspense?

QUESTION: Why do men who are obsessed with large female breasts become Christians?

A: Because they can't wait to be born again.
